Chorioangioma of Placenta: A Rare Case of Near-Miss Mortality.

Placental chorioangioma is the most common benign non-trophoblastic tumor of the placenta. It is derived from primitive chorionic mesenchyme and is typically vascular accounting for approximately 1 % of all pregnancy [1]. Chorioangioma is the most common histological type of placental tumor. An increased incidence rate of chorioangioma is associated with maternal age, hypertension, diabetes, female sex, first delivery and multiple pregnancies. Placental chorioangioma is a relatively rare condition that can result in serious prenatal complications and adverse pregnancy outcome. It is usually symptomless and may be associated with serious maternal and fetal complications when it reaches the size of more than 5 cm, e.g., polyhydramnios, premature delivery, preeclampsia, fetal growth restriction, fetal distress, fetal anemia, cardiomegaly, non-immune hydrops, thrombocytopenia, consumptive coagulopathy, and infant fetal death [2]. Here, we report a rare case of placental chorangioma who presented with sudden maternal collapse.
